I noticed that I haven't posted any Arashi translations for a month, but no, I haven't left the fandom. ;__; This time, I only have a 2-page scanlation from the January issue of Popolo, a continuation of the group talk that I translated before, which is actually after these 2 pages in the magazine itself...It's really not that much, so yeah...

Also, my scanner is horrible, so the scans are not really HQ. Please excuse the blurriness and my terrible editing of the scans so I could put the translation over the original Japanese words. It's my first time scanlating, so now I understand how hard it is to edit the pictures especially if the background is not just a plain, single color. If you look at the scans at full size, you can really see the white dots and other weird marks in the darker areas, and I already photoshopped out the very obvious dots. I'm very sorry for such an imperfect editing job. It's time for me to get a new scanner. >__<;;

Click on the thumbnails to go to imageshack, then click again on the scan to go to full size. After zooming in on the pic, just scroll around to find the captions and blurbs to read.

Notice how red Ohno's face is when he tries to squeeze the apple, lol.

I don't think I'm going to put up the other scans of this photoshoot. I'm too embarrassed about these LQ scans. But if anyone really wants to see them, please comment here and I guess I can share them...._.;;

Why do we say "welcome" and "irrashaimase" at the start of each entry?

You might wonder about that. This community is like a crepes store, except we provide free translations of selected Japanese articles rather than selling actual crepes. We want readers or "customers" to enjoy our translations as if they're savoring delicious crepes. So, please be welcomed and enjoy~
